R Madhavan: 'Never asked a producer my picture's size on a poster'

ONCE in a while, actors come across scripts that they know will be a legacy film. To R Madhavan, that happened with director Karan Singh Tyagi's Kesari Chapter 2. "It's a film that will transcend time.

- 

Rang De Basanti [2006] was one of them, 3 Idiots [2009] too. You get the feeling in your bones. During 3 Idiots, I told Raju [Rajkumar Hirani] that he will have a tough time trying to beat this one. The same goes for Karan Singh Tyagi,' grins the actor.

In Kesari Chapter 2, the director offers a dramatised version of history with Akshay Kumar's C Sankaran Nair fighting the British Raj's attempt to underplay their role in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
